Question
A newborn is suffering from diarrhea and has a poor spirit. What kind of food or medication can be given during diarrhea?
Answer
During the diarrhea period, you can give the baby milk powder to drink and use oral rehydration salts to prevent dehydration. At the same time, consider administering ceftriaxone sodium or amoxicillin antibiotics, as well as probiotics to regulate the intestinal flora. Additionally, a warm compress on the abdomen may help improve the condition. It is also recommended to give the baby a triple-vial probiotic capsule containing bifidobacteria, and pair it with attapulgite powder to stop diarrhea. Remember to clean the baby’s anus with warm water after they have a bowel movement and use red mold ointment in conjunction.
